Deathstroke Bass

So I was stopping in at a local pawn shop and came across a wonderful-playing 5 string Dean Sledgehammer for $230. Figured "what the hell?" And picked her up. On the way home, I started thinking "what I can I do to really make this a fun bass?" That's when I decided to give her a new paint job. I've recently become a comic book nut again after many years, so thought I'd try something to bring my two hobbies together

You painted the fretbaord to I see. How well is that goiung to hold up before worn thru several places? Any effect on sound? The time I tried a epoxied rosewood board bass I felt it had robbed the bass of woodier tone rosewood is known for.

Well, I'm making the decals sometime next week (heading to Quebec for a little vacation). I just made up some paper outlines to get the idea of what it would look like, and to figure out where to place the decals.

As for the neck, I continue to poly it and will do so continually, so I don't expect too many problems (considering this also won't be my workhorse bass). As the neck and fingerboard are maple, I'm not hearing any real negative sound changes when I play.
